Rashi
לעלות עליהם לצבא. לפי שנאסרו הבמות משנקבע המשכן בשילה:
To go up against them to war. [They were prepared to do this] because בָּמוֹת were prohibited2The term בָּמוֹת is used to describe any type of altar used for sacrifices except the altar of the Mishkan or the Beis ha Mikdosh. These בָּמוֹת were permitted during the period before the establishment of the Mishkan, but were prohibited so long as the Mishkan was intact. They were considered a threat to the unity of the Klal Yisroel and to the centrality of the Mishkan. once the Mishkan was established at Shiloh.
